Icy Blues (Gerard Way Teacher)

Chapter Twenty-Four: Welcome Home

(The photo is one of the ones I took at the concert.)

(Date December 4th)

"This isn't my home." I say bluntly, not breaking eye contact. "You already snapped the fucking line Riley I wouldn't suggest being a bitch right now." I take in a deep breath while glaring at him. "Take me home Gerard." He lets out a dark chuckle. "Home? This is your home. Oh, do you mean the gone where your own sister hates your guts? Or do you mean the home where Frank can fuck you like the little fucking whore you are?!" "Fuck you Gerard! Frank never forced himself on me! Frank never beat me! Frank has never laid a fucking hand on me you piece of shit! You're a fucking murderer and I will never in your dreams love you!" His eyes grow dark and he quickly turns around to get out of the car. I watch as he swings around and opens up the back door. "No no no! Get off of me!" Gerard pulls me by my legs towards him as I try to kick and scream. "Let me go! Help! Somebody help me please!" I scream causing Gerard to shove me down hard on the seat with his hand firmly over my mouth. "Shut the fuck up. For once just shut the fuck up!" He screams at me as loud as I screamed at him. "Nobody can fucking hear you out here! Scream as loud as you want Riley because it's fucking useless." My body began to tremble once more as I stare up into his furious eyes.

"Frank isn't going to save your stupid ass this time Riley. Now get the fuck up." He yanks me hard by the wrists and begins dragging me towards the door. I tried to fight back but my body ached so badly. The cold air definitely didn't help as I began to feel numb in the feet and hands.

While tightly holding onto my wrist Gerard unlocks the door, quickly throwing me to the ground inside. I let out a cry of pain as I land hard on my back where the stairs had done a number on me. "Oh did that hurt? Here let me move the pain!" Gerard brings his foot back and kicks me hard in the stomach. I attempt to suck in air but fail as I clutch my stomach. The pain was searing. "You want to know how it felt when I saw you kissing that piece of shit?!" My head slams hard against the ground as he punches me hard across the face. "I want to kill you so fucking badly for betraying me Riley!" I spit out the blood that had formed in my mouth from when he hit me and glare up at him.

"Then fucking do it! Fucking kill me Gerard! Anything would be better then being forced to live with you!" His fists turn white and his body begins to shake with anger. "I love you Riley. I could never. But don't fucking test me." He takes a fist full of my hair. Pulling me hard until I'm up on my feet. He pulls my face close to his while he smiles. "You're mine forever Riley. No matter what you say or what you do you are never going to leave me. You will love me eventually and we will start a family and live happily ever fucking after!" He throws me back down to the ground. Although it hurt I couldn't help but laugh. Laugh at him.

"What the fuck is so funny." He demands. "You're so fucking stupid Gerard." I cough resulting in him landing another blow on my stomach. I take in a sharp gasp but don't stop laughing. "You really think... we're going to have a family together? Oh Gerard..." I could almost feel the anger radiating off his body as he picks me up once again harshly by the wrist. "What the fuck are you getting at Riley! I'm not in the mood for your bull shit!" I force myself to look up at him and grin. Though my vision was blurry I could see the pure rage on his face. "Wanna hear something funny Gerard?" He stays silent while staring down at me. Teeth clenched and eyes narrowed. "We're never going to have a fucked up family. I'm infertile."

I couldn't read the emotion written on his face. It was almost blank. But he stays silent. He takes in a deep breath before walking away. Dragging me behind him. Down into the basement he turns to the little door that was under his stairs. It was always locked whenever I went to check it out. Pulling some keys out of his pocket Gerard quickly unlocks the door pulling me inside. All I saw was darkness until he turned on the light. It was a small storage space full of random junk. Why is he taking me here? Before I could ask anything Gerard crouches down and moves away some boxes to reveal an empty wall. But on closer inspection I could see it was a very hidden little door. Easily could be missed if you weren't looking hard enough. "I had this all ready since I moved here Riley. I knew you wouldn't come easy."

Gerard pushes open the door and shoves me down the stairs. Thankfully I gained my balance before falling down another set of stairs. Gerard begins walking down himself. After a few moments of darkness the room became engulfed in a warm yellow glow. The room was a lot bigger then I had thought. I take a moment to look around. In the room there was a long black couch with a small coffee table. A little further away there was a small TV mounted onto the wall with a little dresser underneath it. Like a little living room? I look around the corner at the far end of the room where there was a toilet and a bathtub lined with all the products I normally use at home. I felt disgusted. I turn around to look at Gerard. "Get used to it. This is where you stay during the day when I'm at work." The room was short. Decent height for me but not for him. "Just let me go Gerard." I try my luck at pleading once more. What's he going to do? Beat me? Maybe he'll finish the job.

He walks towards me and in instinct I back up. Far enough that I end up tripping onto the couch where Gerard was quick to get on top of me. He looked calm. Which was oddly far more unsettling. "You are never leaving me again Riley. Never again." He places his hand lightly on my throat to force me into looking up at him. "I will do everything in my power to keep you by my side. I don't care who I have to hurt and if that means I have to hurt you I will do it. Do I make myself clear." I only stare up at him causing his grip to tighten. "You will forget about Frank, you will forget about Aron. You will forget about anybody who isn't me and Mikey. Because when we get married he will become family." Married? Absolutely not! "I will never marry you..." he grip tightens so harshly I could feel my head begin to get light. "The moment you turn eighteen on the seventeenth you will be Riley Way. I honestly don't give a shit on what you have to say about it. Do you understand Riley." Black spots began to cloud my vision and fear started to take over. I'm an act of panic I nod my head frantically.

He lets go of my throat and I was able to see the smug smile on his face. "Now I have some business to take care of. As much as I want to rip this little dress off you and fuck you like a rabbit this business is urgent." He kisses me harshly on the lips before crawling off of me. And without another word leaves the room. I could hear locks click before his loud footsteps begin to fade. And so did I. I didn't move from off the couch and I felt myself begin to fade into a deep, dreamless sleep.

—————————

The sound of pounding footsteps echo above me waking me out of my deep slumber. I look around the room to the clock hung up on the wall. Two. I wasn't sure of AM or PM. The footsteps grow closer until I hear the sound of the locks clicking once more and footsteps begin to descend. I look up from the ground and see Gerard staring back at me. It didn't take me more then a moment to notice the amount of blood on his body. It was splattered so it wasn't his. Oh god. And quickly the room began to smell of gasoline. He reaked of it. "What did you do." I demand in a groggy tone. Gerard only smiles. "You can stay down here for a few days to think about what you've done and what you've caused." He says ignoring my question and turning around. Walking out without another word. What the hell does he mean? I try to sit up and all the pain had washed over me all at once. Every inch of my body ached. I sit there for a few minutes attempting to regain enough strength to stand up. I look around the room at the TV and the bathtub. I was freezing and knew the best thing for me right now would be a hit bath. If I was going to even think about escaping I'd have to heal and regain my strength.

I take the TV remote off the table and flip to the news station. I need to know what's going on. If they're looking for me. Or if they found Aron. The realization of that situation still hadn't registered in my mind. I had never seen anything dead before. Nothing but animals on the side of the road. Seeing one of my best friends completely lifeless in front of me. Cold like ice. Put me into a state of shock.

Slowly I make my way over to the bathtub and quickly turn the water on. Making it as hot as my body could handle. I gaze around at the various products noticing it's everything I use at home. Even the exact same razor. I shiver at the thought and quickly begin to take my dress off. Only now noticing how torn up it was must have been from the fall. I sip into the water and felt all my cold, tense muscles quickly relax. I let out a quiet sigh of relief before turning my attention to the TV.

"Authorities say the cause of the fire was arson. So far firefighters have recovered two bodies. One has been identified as Aron Reid who is the son of the owners of the house. The other body has been identified as Raelyn Rockwell. We are still unsure of the relationship between the two or why Raelyn was at the Reid residence. Police have went to visit the Rockwell residence and found it empty. There has been no word on Raelyn's younger sister Riley Rockwell. This is what she looks like. If anybody has seen Riley please contact the authorities immediately." Raelyn... Raelyn's gone...
